I am your irrationally optimistic partner that tells you that something is about to go wrong but don’t worry everything will work out anyway because we will overcome these challenges together and laugh about it later.

This is my story.

One day I walked into an interview for Nasdaq, and the hiring manager, Pat Deluca leans over the table and says, “hey, you know what? I have something else in mind for you. I don’t want to hire you for the role you came in for since you have some programming experience because I have a problem you might be able to help me with.”

“Ok, I’m in” I said. The next thing I knew I was interviewing potential users of a new application. This application would end up making someone’s life better by stopping them from having to record tons of information about problems and outages into Word documents only to have to sift through all that data every quarter looking for insights.

I found him to be among the most creative software design and developers in the technology field. The products’ user interfaces had excellent usability and human factor qualities.

Dave and I worked together at Bridgewater and Starwood. He possesses many important qualities that make him a great Business Analyst, but also has intangibles — connecting with people, building strong relationships, communications, and creativity. I strongly endorse him.

Dave brought a level of energy, creative problem-solving, business insight and technical acumen (as well as a witty humor!) that seriously uplifted the team. His ability to spot and diffuse potential issues and establish agreement and unity, was an inspiration, earning him the nickname The Catalyst & Glue.
